3018 - What came in the saying of God Almighty: {And it is He who initiates creation, then repeats it, and it is easier for Him

3018– حدثنا محمد بن كثير: أخبرنا سفيان، عن جامع بن شداد، عن صفوان بن محرز، عن عمران بن حصين رضي الله عنهما قال: جاء نفر من بني تميم إلى النبي ﷺ فقال: (يا بني تميم أبشروا). قالوا: بشرتنا فأعطنا، فتغير وجهه، فجاءه أهل اليمن، فقال: (يا أهل اليمن، اقبلوا البشرى إذ لم يقبلها بنو تميم). قالوا: قبلنا، فأخذ النبي ﷺ يحدث بدء الخلق والعرش، فجاء رجل فقال: يا عمران راحلتك تفلتت، ليتني لم أقم.

3018- Muhammad bin Katheer told us: Sufyan told us, on the authority of Jami bin Shaddad, on the authority of Safwan bin Mahrez, on the authority of Imran bin Husayn, may God be pleased with them both, that he said: a group of Banu Tamim came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and he said: (O Banu Tamim, rejoice) they said: Our glad tidings, so give us. Then his face changed, and the people of Yemen came to him, and he said: (O people of Yemen, accept the glad tidings, for Banu Tamim did not accept it.) they said: Before us, so the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, took the beginning of creation and the Throne, then a man came and said: O Imran, your camel has slipped away. I wish I had not stayed.
